[Q] Galaxy Nexus won't turn on after attempting a flash stock + Unroot???

So I'm not sure what happened with my girlfriend's Gnex, she updated to 4.2 a couple days ago, then her battery died. So she went to charge it and when it finished charging, she went to turn it on normally, but it went into a reboot loop? So i was talking to someone else on another thread that i saw similar, so i tried to do a flash stock + unroot, it connected i got into recovery menu and everything, went to do it, and then the screen started going staticy, and it said it failed then it said it should take 5-10 minutes or something. So i guess it froze or something, so i took the battery out and the screen was still staticy, and then i unplugged it from the USB, and now it won't turn back on. Did i brick the device? :/ Thanks in advance for future answers.

you cant get into to recovery either? or fastboot mode?

nope, when i went into recovery it went staticy again and then went back into its bootloop :/
but now it just won't turn at all, i've done a battery pull, battery swap, nothing worked.

I'm having a similar issue. I wanted to flash the memory so i relocked the phone using the wugkit, then unlocked and rooted. For some reason, it wouldn't load a new rom. I kept getting the triangle exclamation point android graphic. I pulled the battery and that was it. Black screen. Won't turn on. A cpl of times, it was almost recognized by the computer via USB, but just kept failing. This sucks.

just a thought: are you sure it's charged up enough to boot? i know i've mistakenly thought my phone was messed up when the battery was just dead

Yes the battery is charged. Occassionally, when I plug it into the computer, it makes the new device notification and then fails over and over again. I keep trying to get a glimpse of a lock so i can adb it.

Help! It wants to live, but won't go past splash

Phone's been slowly giving me more and more issues. Today I was using it fine, turned off the screen, a bit later, tried turning it on and nothing. This has been a common occurrence, about once a day I have to do a battery pull or plug it in to make the screen turn on, then all is normal. Battery pull got it to boot to the splash screen, but then nothing. Plugged it in, and nothing. Left it plugged it in for about an hour, tried again, still nothing. Unplugged and tried powering on, nothing. Pulled the battery again, and could only get to the splash screen. I'm running JB Sourcery, and have the one selected where the apple rots and then it spells out droid. I get through that and then it does nothing else.
Info: just tried again, had to pull the battery, then I could get the google logo to pop up, but that was it.
Info the 2nd: plugged it in for 2 hours, the graphic showed it fully charged. So I tried booting it and again, same response..gets through the boot splash screen, but goes black after. Pressing power button does nothing, doesn't even get the charge graphic to show up.
Info the 3rd: I left it be this time thinking maybe it was just really laggy or something, but after 15 minutes, still nothing. But I can feel a bit of heat as if it is on.
Info the 4th: I can get into bootloader and recovery fine. I was even able to make a backup (only thing I could think to do in there that would take some time and not risk screwing it up more) So it's not a battery issue, seems to be something with the rom.
Please help
Even though the phone is rooted and custom rom, can I take it back to Verizon? I've only had the phone since December. If I could do that, is there any way to get all the pics off of it first?

Silly question, but how would I go about getting that? And can I get it to the phone without the phone being able to boot

deja vu.....million times.
with a little search i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Was able to wipe data/cache and re-flash the rom. Seems to be working for now. I think I'll go back to stock (thanks for the link samersh) and see if I'm still having issues.

D855 Stuck in Bootloop-- Light Sensor and Vibration Still Work

I'm having a weird problem. Yesterday I was using my phone as I normally do-- texting, playing simple puzzle games, etc.-- when I noticed the battery was at about 2%. I wasn't very concerned so I tried to send one last text before it died. Shortly afterward it died with the usual "Powering Down" alert. I thought absolutely nothing of it and once I had access to a charger, I did what I normally do: I turn on my phone, wait for it to get past the LG splash screen, and I plug it in once it gets to the boot animation. I do this so my phone will turn on instead of going into charge only mode. Also, like usual, my phone's screen dimmed seconds after the boot animation began (I assume from my automatic light sensor settings), and I could feel it vibrating a little (also something it typically does upon boot).
However this is as far as it got. I was very confused when about an hour later, the phone still hadn't completed boot. I removed the battery, inserted it again, and tried once more telling myself that I would wait as long as I could instead of just an hour. Booting the second time gave me identical results-- everything is normal (light sensor response and vibration indicating the phone is powering on) yet it gets stuck. The only difference is that this time I got to see the entire bootloop.
After the boot animation screen has run for a while, I get the usual "Android is starting.... Optimizing app ## of ##" (#= actual numbers). Once it finishes, instead of booting my phone, it begins the boot animation again. If left alone it will cycle between the boot animation and the "Android is Starting" screen indefinitely.
TL;DR:
1. ) Caught in bootloop between boot animation screen and "Android is Starting... Optimizing app ## of ##" screen.
2. ) The screen still dims and there are little vibrations that usually tell me the phone is about to turn on.
I have tried:
- a hard reset- this yields only a slightly stronger vibration and it starts the bootloop again.
- Download mode- this does the same as the hard reset
- Removing battery for a while- no results
- Full charge to completely dead to full charge again on charge only mode- no results
I am running CM13 Nightlies from late February (not completely sure which exact date). Which I flashed without issue about a month ago. I do have Xposed and run various modules, but I was using nothing at the time and hadn't for about a month. My computer recognizes my phone as an LG G3 Device, but refuses to access any files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Phone not starting.
First remove phone battery, insert it again, do not start phone. Connect your phone to original charger and charge it, while charging with the charger start your phone. Your phone should start if yes/no report me immediately. Your phone battery is failing to start your phone (Due to Low Voltage in battery). Replace with original battery.

Alright, I removed the battery, reinserted it (without turning the phone on) plugged it into the wall charger (seeing the charge only battery animation), and attempted to turn it on. Whenever I try to turn my phone on after plugging it in, I get the LG splash screen followed by the battery charging animation. It never reaches the boot animation. I'll let it charge for a while and try again.
Thank you for the advice!

Okay, I let the phone charge completely and attempted to turn it on whilst plugged into the wall charger again. Unfortunately I had the same issue. The phone shows the LG splash screen and then the battery charging animation again-- no boot animation.

just start with a full reflash , if it doesnt boot up its simply broken

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid a full reflash/data wipe. Since I haven't messed around with any Xposed modules or root apps, I also haven't backed up anything for quite a while. No abnormal apps were running before the battery died, which leads me to believe this can be solved somehow without a full wipe.
Also, I tried to use my boyfriend's battery to boot up my phone. I thought it might be a bad battery-- as some people on-line have mentioned. Unfortunately, it still refused to boot and it produced the same bootloop.

You see , if and not and this and that dont help . te only way to save files is to get acces by recovery or boot, you cant boot but possible you have recovery so start saving your files you need. when you have or dont have your files . you stil need your system to boot for that to happen, it needs to work. so flashing a default rom with wipe sould work if it doesnt you flash original if that doesnt work its dead

I think I forgot to mention, I cannot access recovery mode. I have the latest TWRP installed, but attempting to boot into recovery gives me the same results-- endless bootanimation/ "Android is Starting" bootloop.

So no acces at all . so what do you do ? Read above! Anyway good luck

Solved
I fixed my problem. It turns out I was being an idiot and got the method of entering recovery mode on the LG G3 confused with my Samsung tablet. I should be able to fix the bootloop on my own now. Thanks everyone for your help! Cheers to idiocy.

Hey, I have the exact same issue right now. Did you solve your problem, and how? I tried removing the battery and charging with original charger to 100%. I connected it to my PC, went into Download mode and clicked "Restore Upgrade Errors" in LG PC Suite. It successfully flashed the firmware update, then it said "Android is starting.... Optimizing app ## of ##". But after that it restarted into bootlop again. Also I noticed that sometimes it vibrates, and my LED (light sensor) doesn't light up anymore.
Any advice? I haven't tried replacing the battery yet.

Can you access recovery?

updated below

not even the stock recovery?

I can access stock recovery only when the phone is plugged into the charger
Will not work if the phone is plugged into the computer via usb

I'm guessing this means you have a faulty battery. The fact that it works on the charger and not unplugged or plugged in via USB is indicative the phone believes the battery is completely drained.
I would try to following before contacting Amazon for a warranty replacement: Try to factory reset from the Amazon Stock Recovery (assuming you're certain you are on FireOS). I would then let it charge turned off for a couple hours and try to turn on. If it works, great. If not, I'm afraid working with Amazon is your only avenue.

Any update on the case? I had the same situation. My fire phone having endless bootloop. Only if I connect to charger it can work.
Manage to go to recovery, wipe all, problem still persist.

Same thing
Went into stock recovery
Wipe the phone clean and it still gives me the endless loop

Anyone got an fixes for this? How can I pull all my pics off if this if it keeps rebooting

bump for help

Try to charge your phone and turn it on. If can, you can use WiFi file explorer from play store to pull your data. Make sure fire phone and pc or laptop connect to the same WiFi.
Mine will goes to bootloop if direct connect to pc or laptop.

I just started having this problem yesterday, same exact symptoms. Wiping cache took an incredibly long time, factory reset went smoothly, but neither fixed the issue. It went in to another boot loop immediately after the reset completed, and only came out if it when I plugged it in to a charger again.
That said, it told me a little later that it had updated its firmware, congrats yada yada... and so far (fingers crossed) it hasn't acted up again.
It's now on Fire OS 4.6.6.1 (466001420), I couldn't say what it was before. Can anyone still experiencing this report what version you are on right now?
Also, it may or may not be relevant that I allowed the phone to charge for over 12 hours before disconnecting it.

Have you tried booting into stock recovery then pushing amazon update file to the phone via adb (adb sideload)?

Is it possible do to update you fix your issue? I had charge my phone for more than 12 hours but no luck...
I will try to update via sideload adb. If anyone can show me the link for the how to appreciate it.

Update on mine:
The firmware update did not fix the problem. It is still possible that it alleviated the situation for a time, but much more likely it was just coincidental timing.
My Fire Phone behaved itself for most of a day and a half, then suddenly went back to the boot loop. I left it this way overnight to try to deep cycle the battery.
After draining completely, it took several hours on the charger before it began showing a charging screen, which comes and goes in intervals just like the Amazon logo had before. It has not progressed beyond 0% charge since then. I'm assuming a faulty battery at this point, or perhaps a corrupt battery stats file (but that should have cleared with the factory reset correct?)
My sincere apologies for any false hopes I may have given anyone.

+1 for this.
I had this problem and just replaced battery. Fire Phone worked great again !
Can't believe a. faulty battery cause many problems.
Btw, if you replace battery by yourself, please notice the attached glue between battery and case. Try to remove them all gently - can search on YouTube how to replace Fire phone battery.

Bootlooped LG G3

Hi guys,
So yesterday my phone randomly started turning itself off every now and then. As time went by, it happened more and more until it never turned on. So what I'm left with now is a "LG Lifes good" screen, then black screen, then "LG lifes good" again. So I thought I'd boot to TWRP and restore an old backup. At 1% completion, the phone simply went back into the bootloop. After this, I wiped through TWRP, tried to uninstall xposed, did everything i could to no avail. So I thought I'd wipe it back to factory with my laptop. So yeah yeah got the KDZ, used LG Flash Tool 2014, installed the drivers etc and proceeded to wipe it. It didnt work on my windows 8 laptop so i went to my windows 7 desktop. This completed to 100%. My phone got the the language settings then went back into bootloop. I've tried to wipe again but it never completes. What can I do.
All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Are you absolutely sure?? I let it charge overnight and when i turned it on in the morning (while still plugged in), it worked. After unplugging, it immediately turned off.
I really don't want to buy a battery and then find that it wasn't the problem.
Thanks heaps for your reply!!

update
So I can use my phone normally when it's plugged in. However, even when I power off the phone, I get the flashing LG logo and it won't turn off. What might the problem be?

As i mentioned it's your battery.
Even if you over charge it,empty it while you are on TWRP and recharge it,your battery won't work like it supposed to.
Before two months or so,i got this problem(same as you)
I tried charging it all day,emptying it via TWRP(took me about 3hours+ with full brightness to empty it)and recharged it.After that i booted it (while plugged in) and after it booted,i used it about some seconds without the charger and it started again bootlooping.
So i decided to buy a new battery,bought it,removed the old one and inserted the new one,and it worked better than the factory one.
I Hope that my little story helps.
Greetings.
